Albert Tatlock is a fictional character on the British television soap opera Coronation Street. Albert was played by actor Jack Howarth from 1960 to 1984. The character became something of an institution, so much so that grumpy old men were sometimes nicknamed "Albert Tatlock". A veteran of the First World War, Albert settled back into civilian life by marrying and starting a family, however his wife Bessie died in 1959 and he retired from his job at the Town Hall the following year, taking up a new occupation as the street's resident grumpy old man, forever complaining about the struggles of old age and living on the low income from his pension. Although Albert was never close to his daughter Beattie, he maintained close ties with his brother Alfred's family, particularly his niece Valerie, who married Albert's neighbour Ken Barlow in 1962. With Val's death in 1971, and Beattie's continued absence, Ken eventually moved into No.1 and took care of Albert in his twilight years until his death of a heart attack in May 1984.
